Today is the day when my friend, Kathrine, and I got out by the freeway and hitch hiked our way to Aarhus to finally participate in the Northside festival. We’re both SO excited! I’ve gone to the festival completely computer free so I am thereby completely work free as well at Northside: I won’t be photographing for anyone else but me and I planned blogposts for the weekend, so I won’t have to worry about that either, and so, I won’t be answering comments or e-mails until sometime Monday. Some of the things I did bring are here on the photos – of course a rain jacket is obligatory for festivals, and luckily, I’m the owner of a way rad one. Then I’ll bring some cool clothes, practical shoes, my Canon 1100D, so the 7D won’t risk being damaged, a good day creme with SPF 25, ticket, wallet and phone, of course, and then sunnies, hair things and a cool visor so that I can look rad. Oh, and yeah, it never hurt anyone to carry around sequins and feather, so why not? What do you bring to festivals?

Some days ago I read a post at Lou’s about this incredibly nice coffe place in Klostergade. I often walked by the gate that leads to the courtyard in which it is, but I never went there.. Untill this week, when I stopped by twice. What I’m talking about is a coffee place calledGreat Coffee, who offers you exactly what they promise; great coffee! I’ve always thought of myself as a latte-gal, but those two times I stopped by Great Coffee I drank black coffee and it convinced me that latte isn’t the only kind of coffe I can drink.. at least if the black coffee is made so well as it is at Great Coffee. The place is owned by a guy who definately knows what he’s doing, which his many trophies from latte-art and barista-competitions indicate – he even judged a competition about the best coffee in India, which really made me believe that you coudln’t go wrong with getting your coffee here. So if you ever come by Aarhus(or already live there) you really should stop by Great Coffee, which is located in Klostergade number 32H. I know I’m coming back!

.. og forberedt mig på Paris, på torsdag, ved at smutte rundt i latinerkvarteret, der i anledning af latinerfestivallen havde fået franske gadeskilte. / And I prepared for Paris on Tuesday by walking around in the latin quartier of town, which, in occasion of the latin festival, had gotten French street-signs.

Since I just moved to Aarhus and don’t know the city too well, I spend most of my hours after school walking around the city looking for nice shops, cafés and thrift stores – one of the thrift stores I have know for a while, though, is Jolly KK in Vestergade, which I stopped by after school today. It’s a common thrift store, but the lady in the store said that the stuff in the shop is sorted well and only the better things can be bought there, so it’s not just a shop with random clothes someone didn’t need anymore. I think it shows in the shop – there were lots of nice things in the clothes department, which I spent most of my time in. The place also sells lots of books, kitchen stuff, furniture, old school bags, suitcases and so on. When I was there today I also found something quite nice – now I’ve got an other look for London fashion week and I can tell you that I’ve officially joined the baroque trend! Yep, for those who haven’t stopped by Jolly KK yet, I’d warmly recommend it – you seldomly leave the place emptyhanded!
